<p>Hi, I’m applying RD Yale and I’m trying to finish up the Common App but i’m not exactly sure what to do with the short answer about the activities. Should it just be a short description: what i do in the activity, why i do it, why it’s important to my development, etc. or should i spend a lot of time on it and add figurative language, metaphors, anecdotes, etc?</p>
<p>There is not enough space to “fluff” it up. Just write about that activity that you’re passionate about and like you said why it is important to your development, how much effort you have dedicated to it.</p>
